Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2414-2416 Folsom Street, located in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1905, currently owned by Ricky Ho. The property's recorded history shows a significant electrical upgrade performed in 2004 with a completed 200-amp underground conversion, representing the only major permitted improvement on record. More recently, in July 2021, there was a building complaint filed regarding unpermitted loud construction work, though this issue was reportedly abated within a week.

The property has experienced various maintenance and compliance issues in recent years, particularly between late 2023 and 2025. Notable incidents include an August 2024 sewage backup discharge from the side sewer vent that required field work to resolve. The building's immediate vicinity has faced multiple urban maintenance challenges, with several 311 calls reporting abandoned garbage, debris, and waste on the street and sidewalks throughout 2024. There have also been several parking-related incidents, including vehicles blocking driveways and bicycle lanes, though these are primarily street-level concerns affecting public infrastructure rather than direct building-related issues. The most recent documented tenant buyout activity was for the neighboring property at 2412 Folsom Street, with no specific date or details provided in the records.

Risk rating

How 2414-2416 Folsom St's risk score is calculated

We trained a model on 7 years of SF DBI inspection data — notice of violation filings, complaint history, and owner track records. It estimates the probability that DBI inspectors will issue a Notice of Violation at this address in the next 12 months. Lower % = safer.

What the score means for you

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.
